Storm season is coming

Get your home storm-ready

Storm season in South East Queensland runs through the warmer months. The jobs below are the ones worth sorting before it starts — and tradies get busy fast once it does.

Roof check

Loose tiles, lifted sheets and rusted screws are what storms find first.

Gutters and downpipes

Blocked gutters overflow into ceilings. Clear them before the first big downpour.

Get quotes from plumbers

Trees and branches

Overhanging branches near the house, roof or fences, trimmed back. Never near powerlines yourself.

Post a job — it's free

Licence-checked locals quote; you choose. Your number stays private until you do.

Things you can do yourself

Tie down or put away anything that could blow around — outdoor furniture, trampolines, bins.
Know where your mains power, water and gas switch off.
Check your home and contents insurance is current.
Put together an emergency kit and a household plan.
